The BLACKHAWK TecGrip FormLok Moldable Holster Size 5 delivers a custom-molded fit for popular compact and micro-compact handguns without requiring weapon-specific molds. This inside-the-waistband design accommodates the Glock 43, 43X, and 26, Ruger LC9 and EC9, Springfield Hellcat, S&W Shield and Shield Plus in 9mm and .40 S&W, and Colt Officer 3-inch 1911 models. The ambidextrous configuration works for both left and right-handed shooters, eliminating the need to stock multiple holster variants. We carry this alongside our full holster selection for shooters who demand retention without sacrificing concealment.
BLACKHAWK engineered the FormLok around Memory-Lok thermoformable plastic sandwiched between multiple functional layers. The multi-layer construction combines high-density closed-cell foam for body-side comfort with a 600 denier polyester interior liner that protects the firearm's finish during repeated draws. The included T-handle molding tool and heavy-mil dunk bag allow users to heat the holster in water and form it precisely around their specific handgun, creating passive friction retention tuned to personal preference. A low-cut sight channel accommodates mounted red dot optics, addressing the growing trend of optics-ready compact pistols. The low-profile shirt guard prevents direct skin contact while maintaining a minimal footprint under cover garments, making this holster suitable for extended daily carry.
Everyday carriers and those new to concealed carry benefit from the TecGrip's clipless design. The tacky exterior material grips fabric and skin to hold position throughout the day without requiring a dedicated gun belt. This makes the FormLok practical for athletic wear, business casual attire, or any situation where traditional belt clips prove impractical. The holster excels paired with the compact Glock models or subcompact options like the Hellcat and Shield. For shooters building out their concealment setup, our belt holster options provide alternatives when open carry or duty use is appropriate.
BLACKHAWK includes a T-handle molding tool and heavy-mil dunk bag with each holster. Submerge the holster in heated water using the dunk bag, insert your unloaded firearm, and use the T-handle to press the Memory-Lok material around your specific handgun. The thermoformable plastic retains this shape once cooled, creating custom passive retention.
Yes. BLACKHAWK designed the FormLok with a low-cut sight channel specifically optimized for mounted red dot sights. This accommodates popular optics-ready variants like the Glock 43X MOS, Springfield Hellcat OSP, and S&W Shield Plus with factory optic cuts.
The TecGrip exterior uses a tacky material that clings to clothing and skin, allowing secure carry without belt clips. This clipless design works with athletic shorts, dress pants, or any waistband where traditional clip holsters would be impractical or visible.
Size 5 accommodates compact and micro-compact single-stack and slim-profile handguns including the Glock 43, 43X, and 26, Ruger LC9 and EC9, Springfield Hellcat, S&W Shield and Shield Plus in 9mm and .40 caliber, and the Colt Officer 3-inch 1911.
